It's neat that it has been in your family this long!
After reading the story, there's a part of me that thinks it's sad that it will be put on the other chassis, because that will sort of take away the character specific to this particular truck.
On the other hand, you know what you want to do to enjoy it, so whatever you've decided will probably work out fine. Cool that you got it home--it's nice to have another family member in the house!
